We want the jazz, Jose. Jazz.

All that, and Jose _still_ came up with a new and beautiful way to rock that melody. You gotta love it….

I checked it out during the early fall when it was circulated and thought it was amongst the best of the year’s musical offerings. I hope Verve releases this but I thought the JC estate did not give its permission. Also I also love Dwight Trible — check out his recent work with Build An Ark – Love Pt.1
